The Ultimate Teen Summer Reading list

Here at OverDrive, one of the most common requests we get is for recommendations of young adult titles that can attract the interests of today's savvy, gadget-equipped, imaginative youths. Although we can suggest titles that are circulating well, it is often hard to satisfy the interests of every love-drunk teen, junior detective, adolescent explorer, and future novelist that has access to a library card. Sure, kids have their summer reads, book reports, and class projects, but what about the titles that can take their imagination beyond the classroom?   Fortunately, the folks at TeenReads.com have compiled a list of titles that they have dubbed the 'Ultimate Teen Reading List'. With over 400 titles, this smorgasbord of young adult books contains something for just about every kind of reader. They tout, "One of our goals each month is to inspire you to read — and to keep reading. We have found that required reading lists for school — especially summer reading lists — are not exactly inspiring. Thus we have created what we think is the Ultimate Teen Reading List — over 400 titles that we believe are perfect choices for reading and discussing. Our dream is that schools will use this list to help them make their own for summer reading or, even better, suggest that students just read what they want from this list. How did we create our list? We compiled entries from Teenreads.com readers who weighed in with their selections, and we also asked our staffers for suggestions."   Interested in seeing what they picked? You can find the list by visiting teenreads.com.   With special thanks to OverDrive's extensive catalog of over one million titles, we were able to recreate nearly the entire Ultimate Teen Reading List with our own collection of eBooks and audiobooks.  We have made this list available to you in Content Reserve, and would like to invite you to log in and check it out. With such an amazing plethora of visionary, infamous titles to choose from, you'll find it hard not to get inspired to buy them!   (Their imaginations will thank you.)   Rob Mooney is a Collection Development Analyst with OverDrive
